    Cylinder Porting

    I do all of my own porting and use a 1/8 pen style die grinder. I have found it difficult to find good bits at any local stores besides the small sand paper wheels. Any suggestions on where I can get a good variety of bits.

    I just buy the $49.99 200pc kits and toss what I don't use, but if you plan to keep at this I suggest you man up and get the 1/4" stuff, much better selection and quality.

    I've got the 1/4" also but the 1/8 is so much nicer to get into tight areas.

    I've always used Craftsmans stuff. Had really good luck with it. As you know,No matter what you use goes fast.. If only all of those old cylinders I did would have been made from the garbage things are made with today! My nights at the bench would have been much shorter
    Please help those who cannot help themselves.

    ALWAYS buying Museum quality machines,3 and 4 wheels. And any and ALL ,NOS parts,EVERY brand.

    I am turning my PM's Off,my Email is billsracing@hotmail.com,put 3WW in the subject. Thanx!

    Gun laws do not stop criminals. BULLETS do.
